Synopsis

The Goodwin Families in America collects a sprawling, sourced look at a single clan through centuries of records. This nonfiction work traces how Major James Goodwin and his descendants shaped a web of kin across Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and beyond, using court rolls, parish registers, and family notes to map a living history.

The book offers a careful, turn‑of‑the‑century style of genealogy — tying generations together with dates, marriages, and places while acknowledging the uncertainties that come with archival research. Readers will see how families branch, reappear, and sometimes fade from the record, all within a broader portrait of colonial and early American life.

• Names, birth and marriage details, and residence clues drawn from scattered records.


• Connections between multiple Goodwin lines and how they likely relate to Major James’s descendants.


• Notes on ambiguous lines and the often provisional nature of early colonial genealogies.

Ideal for readers of family history, colonial America, and genealogical reference works who want a documentary approach grounded in primary sources.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This work was originally published in 1897 as a supplement to the William and Mary College Quarterly Historical Magazine; it documents Judge John S. Goodwin’s attempt to trace his family in America. The genealogy deals primarily with the York County, Virginia, Goodwins, beginning with Major James Goodwin who settled there in 1648. The major, who was a prominent citizen in early Virginia, served as justice from 1657 to 1662 and in 1658 represented his county in the House of Burgesses. While exploring the York County branch of the Goodwins the author discovered many other unrelated Goodwin families scattered about the country. In the hope that some later researcher might be able to tie these families to his own he has provided a wealth of information on these families as well. In all, there are twenty-seven appendices dealing with the unconnected families including those found in Brookville, Indiana; Fayette County, Pennsylvania; Wheeling, West Virginia; St. Mary’s County, Maryland; Davidson County, Tennessee; Botetourt County, Virginia; and Carroll County, Maryland, just to name a few.
